I can’t imagine anyone not having *some* kind of position on all of this. 

I’m in a similar state. Personally (and just my opinion), I see no point in a yard sign. I try my best with my language and actions to show that I value black lives and hope it speaks for itself. I think a yard sign would just walk away. 

This country literally only exists because of violent protest, and every single advance in its history — extension of the franchise, the end of chattel slavery, the civil rights movement, LGBTQ equality, labor power — has been the result of violent and nonviolent actions operating in conjunction. In fact, it’s only…

I think you’ll find technically your whole damn country is founded on a violent protest, and without it you’d be singing “god save the queen” before big sporting events.

Waddlin’ Don.

Yeah.

Also:

I don’t know. We seem to be bending over backwards to find reasons why we should believe Tara Reade. Mostly centered on “believe women,” a concept I support. And I know that there’s a lot about how “real victims” behave and how damaging that is—so we shouldn’t factor in her character, which is that she’s a lifelong…

The “aggrieved acquaintances” were but a handful of former landlords. The damning behavior behind the trumpeted claim of dishonesty and wrongdoing? Reade allegedly struggled to pay her rent, and sometimes she pleaded for her landlords’ sympathy.

“Never having struggled, never having been dishonest, and never having spoken positively of an alleged abuser.”

That last paragraph is the profundity I needed today. I initiated a breakup this week because the hopes my partner had for our future somehow never translated to action. The nature of things is to decay; we can only make the best decisions for the moment, act with intention and integrity, and let the new system emerge.

I don’t care if he lies as long as he dies.

Why is Jezebel doing it’s level best to torpedo the campaign of the best chance to unseat the Orange Menace in November?  Need I remind you of the many women who have credibly accused Chump of rape?  And of The Dolt’s ties to Epstein?  How can 4 more years of the orange man-baby be preferable to Biden?

I had to go through a similar process when I was a consultant with a federal client - even though my work had absolutely nothing to do with material of a sensitive nature.

Yeah, you’re right. I’m sure when the first black candidate to win a party nomination for president vetted VPs they got a questionnaire and a Buzzfeed quiz to determine their Pop Tart flavor. That makes much more sense.

It’s not like a criminal background check, it’s much more invasive. It’s ridiculous to pretend the vetting process for a VP candidate would be a cursory glance at their voting history and poltiical “etc.” If they miss anything it could destroy a presidential campaign that had millions of dollars and thousands of hours…

When did the Jezebel tops comments get so square?

Biden has been pushed left over the course of his career; he has repeatedly shown that he can be pushed to be more liberal, more progressive, and line up behind younger, more progressive politicians. (See: Obama, Barack.) I feel like the Sanders sour grapes brigade just has no idea that Biden has been in politics…

Oh for fuck sake.
